Bored & Evil comic for June 1, 2009

"Another Comic Based On Real Life..."

Ok, so last week I'm all set to watch my favorite show, 'Mythbusters.' I don't watch a lot of TV, in fact right now 'Mythbusters' is really all I'm keeping up with. So I sit down, I have my pizza ready, and I'm all set to watch a new episode of 'Mythbusters'. I had just watched a little bit of the show that comes on before 'Mythbusters', but had switched the channel. So I go back to Discovery and what do I get? A message from Cox Cable reading 'You must subscribe to this channel to view it' (or something like that more or less...). Subscribe? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?! It's the Freakin' Discovery Channel! You don't subscribe to the Discovery Channel! Not when you have digital cable and a DVR (that was just recording a blank screen BTW...). Plus it was THE ONLY channel that that was happening to. All the other channels were coming in fine. Just the one hour of the one day of the week that I wanted to watch my show and I couldn't Now I know why the cable company is called Cox...

BTW: Thanks to Steve for giving me the 'Mythbusters' myth...
